Versions of the guide are already out - in fact, one has been released as a special reward for the campaign already reaching a third of its modest $2,494 goal. The campaign itself is to have the guide released in PDF format and a series of original video guides.

It's still very much a fan-made creation and isn't officially endorsed by developer Victor Interactive Software or publisher Natsume (or even Nintendo itself), but you can't knock a fan who wants to give a game its western-based due almost two decades after its release on N64.

Will you be backing the project? Does Harvest Moon 64 deserve a lavish guide? Let us know in the usual way...
